So I successfully rooted phone, with TWRP, and Magisk. The only problem I'm having is 1) still getting safety net API error,
and
2) I don't know which command to use to relock the Boot loader.
It is likely that one will fix the other, or at least I think as Google is detecting my unlocked bootloader. I want to be able to re-un-lock it (I've been seeing forums filled people who can't unlock their bootloaders after locking it.

If your device is not 100% stock when you lock the bootloader it will not boot.

It seems to be a new problem. The the safety net check problem seems to be with magisk 22.1 (and 22.0 reportedly works but I'm too lazy to downgrade) as Hide works and I used alternative app to check safety net (SafetyNet Test) and it passed that. So everything is working as it should accept Magisk's internal safety net check tool.
Also, I finally learned how to add quotes, yay me!

Turned out it WAS the magisk build 22.1 was fixed now FOSS works. Thanks with the help about MagiskHide. Now I need a terminal emulator that requests root permission. Any suggestions?

im getting the pixel 2xl tomorrow from google. .. i want unlock bootloader . could someone that has success unlocking boatloader, please make a quick step by step guide for windows.
i have latest ADB installed in windows.
Should be the same as the XL. Go into fastboot and type in:
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot reboot
first go to developer settings and check oem unlocking
Same as the Pixel 1...
ok... i thought i read it was different somewhere. i been trying to find post.
in google site they have an extra line https://developers.google.com/android/images#taimen
''
If necessary, unlock the device's bootloader using one of the following methods:
If you are updating a Nexus or Pixel device that is manufactured in 2015 or later, run this command:
fastboot flashing unlock
For some devices, for example, Pixel 2 XL, the critical partitions may also need to be unlocked before flashing. The unlock can be performed with this command:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
"

The critical unlock goes a step further and allows users to flash custom bootloaders, which are usually only necessary for removing certain security restrictions or occasionally for adding special features.

so critical only for flashing other bootloader
which is something i never heard before
Can anyone confirm whether running fastboot flashing unlock_critical will wipe your device? I've already run fastboot flashing unlock, which of course does wipe the device, but now I need to know if this new command will do so as well. EDIT: After reading over that android police link, this appears to be nothing new so I doubt this will be required on the Pixel XL 2 now in order to have root since it wasn't required for the 6P or the OG Pixels. This could have changed with the new Pixels, so we'll have to figure out if the critical command is actually needed.
do you think the critical unlock would work against magisk in anyway? I just want to unlock so i can root and get adaway, but use magisk when available to still have android pay and netflix

you only need it is flashing a custom bootloader
but for anything else you don't need it
root- recovery -roms - oem update - original bootloader
at least that what the dev google site says
I'm still waiting for the TWRP boot loader to be ready for 2XL. Seeing that I'm probably getting the phone either the end of this week or next week, we still have time.
FYI...you don't have to unlock your bootloader to achieve root. You can still root a phone and have a locked bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader is to allow custom recovery flashing, such as TWRP. Personally, TWRP is a must for me and I always unlock my phone.

how do you plan on rooting with a locked bootloader? I don't believe this is possible on the Pixel/Pixel 2.

Yeah, I guess you're right. It depends on the phone and root method. If you're using SuperSU or magisk you'd have to unlock the bootloader. IDK. Just forget everything I said. LOL

it'd be pretty awesome if someone found a way to root with a locked bootloader. I believe the S8/Note 8 has been rooted with a locked bootloader, now only if this was somehow brought into the world of the pixel. lol.

Unlock_critical is needed to even flash stock bootloader's. To flash 8.1 preview I had to unlock_critical to update the boatloader to even get passed. It's a required check.

If I were to unlock my bootloader, flash unmodified 8.1 dev preview and relock the bootloader, would I be able to pass safetynet? Or does unlocking the bootloader mean I'll permanently need to find workarounds no matter what I do afterwards?
Magisk rooting hides that. I can confirm that it works all the way up to November security patch. Look at the developer forum for more information.

Yes.
I have a related question. Is locking the bootloader even necessary? I thought having an unrooted rom on an unlocked bootloader phone passes safetynet?

Safetynet checks for Bootloader Status, unlocked doesn't pass.

Custom roms often make changes at the kernel level to block safetynet's ability to check the bootloader status, which makes it pass (for now). Magisk also hides bootloader unlock status from safetynet. So there are workarounds.
Has anyone figured out how to unlock the bootloader on the LGM710ULM? I have google fi and my warranty has just expired, so I was trying to install linux on my phone, but I cant find out how to unlock the bootloader anywhere.

The only thing that is from the v350ulm is the bootloader.. You can fix that by reflashing the ULM kdz or backing up the stock abl_a img before flashing the v350ulm bootloader then restoring it..
But its no big deal
I want to update my phone but it just doesn't work because apparently xiaomi is blocking the update to android 11, I dont get new updates and can't update manually either. I even contacted Xiaomi support and all they said was "you should go to the store where you bought the product." lmao
I know unlocking the bootloader and installing a rom would work, but this way my bank app would be unusable for me, so I can't do it.
Is there any way to flash my device to a new version without unlocking bootloader?

Just unlock bootloader then lock it again by flash fastboot rom (Clean all and lock option). And just a few bank apps that not work for unlocked bootloader.

I've read something that said relocking a global phone breaks it, isn't that right?
Also, my bank app is one of those that doesn't work with unlocked bootloader.

It just got error if you try to lock bootloader with some other regions. Example: China phone with other roms. If you lock bootloader with same varient, it will be like a new phone with updated.
And almost bank apps problem is safetynet pass and root related, not unlocked bootloader. Go search online or find other group to check your bank app work or not. You can also join rmn8p group on Telegram with some useful guide over there.

That is to say that with so many details in your question, it is difficult to answer precisely but if your device is Chinese only root and magisk will allow this.

downgrade or installing rom,No?
AFAIK no other way than to flash Magisk, enable Zygisk and use Module "SafetyNet-Fix".
If you don't use Root, in Magisk you can set to auto-deny all Root-requests.
So if I installed the EEA stock fastboot rom, I would not pass the Google Play store certification and safetynet if I leave the bootloader unlocked? Just to be sure.
This is the first I've read about this. I was thinking maybe go back to stock for a change.
Can I unlock the bootloader again in the future if I install the rom with clean all and lock?
Yes, simply unlocking the bootloader will fail SafetyNet.
Yes, you can unlock the Bootloader again, at any time.
yes you can unlock again, instantly, you wont need to wait 7 days
